I "fixed" this with
https://github.com/mjg59/grub-fedora/commit/21fcd6d79b7601e4b20ad70c5408adff2dabbc1d
- doing the same in the kernel EFI stub would probably be the best way
to handle it. This way you're guaranteed to stop DMA before the kernel
reclaims boot services memory, which guarantees you won't have any
corruption.
